New amd 64

[shawnlizzle =]]

i am currently building a new computer and i was wondering what is the difference between a athlon64 3500+ and a athlon64 3800+ thx

About $358 at newegg.
That's all the extra you have to pay for the 9% that the 3800 gives you. Great deal right? Well maybe not, but that's the price, that close to bleeding edge.
In straight forward terms, the 3800 is 9% faster than the 3500. It is clocked at 2.4ghz, while the 3500 is clocked at 2.2 ghz.

Just get the 3500+, but also a good HSF with overclockable RAM, and you could easily achieve 3800+ speeds with the 3500+ and then some.

I say get a 3000+ it will do 3500+ speed and probaly 3800+ speed too!

A64 3000+ @ 2250mhz(9x250) - MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum - Crucial BallistiX 2x512 PC4000 - Asus 6800GT - C: = 2x WD Raptor 10000rpm RAID 0 - Hiper 525w.
